Armed homeowner captures two killers

In the county just south of us yesterday, two felons who had killed two Georgia prison guards and escaped in a stolen vehicle went on a two-state crime spree, taking multiple hostages and stealing several vehicles on their way north. After a running gunfight with law officers on I-24, they wrecked the car they were driving and hit the woods. After a mile or so of running, they came to a house in a rural area of Rutherford County and attempted to steal another vehicle from the driveway.

When the police got there, they found the two fugitives proned out on the driveway by the homeowner and his wife, apparently quite ready to go back to the safety of jail.
